Kallian scanned the dance floor. Reyn and Sharla were standing up from the bar, drinks in hand, exchanging flirty winks. Riki was taking the middle of the floor, jumping into the air with various yips and giggles, and face completely stuffed with various meats and sweets. His wife looked quite dissaprovingly at the dancing Nopon, and her screeching could almost be heard over the music, which had recently changed from a sweet sernade to an upbeat jazz number. But what made him smile the most, was Melia dancing with Dunban.
"How nice of him..." Kallian whispered to himself "Dancing with Melia." He knew she was having problems, so it was quite a gesture. Resting his hand on his chin, Kallian spotted Shulk, clutching a bundle of roses and... crying. This, he could not sit and watch, Kallian gracefully hopped off of his throne and walked over to Shulk, passing waving and laughing Hi-Entia.
Shulk tried to look at Melia and Dunban and feel happy for them. But something nagged at him. Was it discomfort? No, more severe than discomfort, perhaps angry? No, there's no reason to be angry, there dancing not insulting him, something milder. He didn't even know why he felt this unknown emotion because, knowing Dunban, dancing with her was probably just being kind, but the way Melia rested her head on his shoulders. Perhaps surprise, he had never seen Dunban so at ease... And, was that the light, or did it look like blots of red were appearing ever more potent on his cheeks.
" Shulk?"
A calm hand rested on Shulk's shoulder. Shulk jumped,
"Are you alright?"
Shulk spun on his heel to face Kallian, and instantly felt embarrassed because it was so obvious he wasn't (for a reason that was just as painfully obvious, but somehow Shulk didn't know why)
"I'm fine. Thanks"
How Shulk had thought that line up so quickly was a mystery, because his mind was still on Dunban twirling Melia around the dance floor like he owned the place.
"You're crying..."
He hadn't even noticed this, wiping a tear away and inspecting.
"... So I am."
Odd, indeed... For why would a man that has such a lady of loyalty and dependency cry? I'd have to imagine this isn't the salsa had a few minutes ago, that proved much to hot for homs tongues ( Or perhaps just Shulk's tongue, because Reyn seemed to have no problems scarfing down the bowl). I doubt it was the intense pressure to Shulk's lips when he last kissed his lover. In about a minute of hands-on-chin contemplation, the reason (finally) hit Shulk like a brick.
"Y'know I think the salsa got to me, I feel like I just ate three spicy apples all at once" Shulk chuckled.
Kallian smiled, falling for the terrible cover up, and bid adieu to Shulk, saying while he went exactly where he got it, how and why, until he was far out of the range that Shulk could hear and sitting back on his throne.
Shulk un-clenched his hand for the first time in minutes, and stared at the roses.
"I grabbed these from a stand in Colony 9, but... Who for?"
Well I've been away for a while
